Pound Per Cubic Foot (abbreviations: lb/ft3, or ppf3): is a unit of density, defined by mass in pound divided by volume in cubic foot
Kilogram Per Cubic Meter (abbreviations: kg/m3, or kgpm3): is an SI derived unit of density, defined by mass in kilograms divided by volume in cubic metres.
How to Convert Pounds Per Cubic Feet to Kilograms Per Cubic Meters
Example: How many kilograms per cubic meters are equivalent to 13.86 pounds per cubic feet?
As;
1 pounds per cubic feet = 16.018646043013 kilograms per cubic meters
13.86 pounds per cubic feet = Y kilograms per cubic meters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 13.86 times 16.018646043013 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 13.86 * 16.018646043013 / 1 = 222.01843415616 kilograms per cubic meters
Answer is: 222.01843415616 kilograms per cubic meters are equivalent to 13.86 pounds per cubic feet.
